That, sir, is a horrifying amount of carnage. Reminds me of why my sigfig joined the navy and not the army or marines.

I'm impressed that you managed to add so many minifigs and made regular changes to your build as the story progressed. From what I hear, minifigs are pretty hard to pose in LDD. Details of particular note are the use of cheese slopes for the water, and the explosion which looks excellent.

I might suggest experimenting with different plates to create minor terrain variations along the beach.

An action packed scene for sure! It certainly must have taken a lot of patience to get those minifigs posed like that in LDD!

I like how you have used a lighter shade of yellow for the Mardierian troops, it allows you to use the yellow heads and hands without them looking like they are in some sort of fetish costume! As I mentioned in Bregir's recent build, the pith helmets are a bit too modern for my taste, but I agree they look fantastic here, especially with that combo!

I wanted to have the render of a flat stamped beach, that's why I don't create minor variations, but I agree, it would have been a bit extra.

Building technically seen, I would have suggested to raise the water around the legs by at least one plate.

I had the water raised around the feet, like the mardierian soldier on the top right of the first picture, but some parts are likely to vanish with LDD, especially of you stack together trans pieces of the same colour range (in this case I had stacked trans clear 1x1 tile and trans clear 1x1 round plate with 1x1 trans clear blue plate, all of these stacked on the 48 x 48 trans blue baseplate).

I had the boat surrounded by some trans clear 1x1x2/3 slopes, but they vanished too...

The biggest problems are the two dead Eslandolan who are clearly lying above the water (thanks to the rucksack , they were the first I surrounded with trans clear and trans clear blue parts)

Now it looks like the Eslandolans are running above the water instead of in the water

Like Jesus Christ... and you're asking me which side support this built !!!

It obviously clear !

Nice landscaping and action posing, Professor. Sinking some of the minifigs into the water to make them less "Jesus-y" The boats also looks a little empty. Adding some benches for the rowers, perhaps a mast, a small gun, or some cargo could make it look more realistic.
